So weird. BMW manages to squeeze a lot out of the TT-4cyl....
Yes, but the 2.0T class cars like RDX, Q5, X3 have turbo lag. Pick your poison. Do you want a dead pedal and then a blast of acceleration or do you want seamless acceleration with less "blast"? If the answer is both, then go test drive a GC Trackhawk.
P.S. The CX-5 gives you the option to get more "blast" if you choose to use 93 octane fuel and Sport mode which alters the shift point higher up the RPM band. Did you try it that way? The other cars require premium. Mazda gives you the choice of "butt dyno" or wallet.
